To be clear, it's this stage. The above image is a little indiscernible. It supposedly should go live at 3 A.M. BST going by previous updates. And there should be 6 more free maps after that.

I'd say blame @Nintendo for all this bickering but they haven't been active for nearly a decade.

Please! Xenoblade Chronicles X has 1st place sown up. If you want to scrap over the crumbs while I'm eating cake, go right ahead. If I had to pick, I'd say this'll get runner-up.

I might get this. I'll see how it ports and reviews. It doesn't seem scary to me but it looks good and like a solid game overall.

Someone with some editing skills could make that look real convincing with some logos and game screens on the wheel disc. They can call it the Wii View.

I'll be there in a minute.

If they had cut out all the padded dribble in the Direct like the knitted Yoshi section and how the original SMB was made they would have had plenty of time. So much of it was wasted filler.

I'll play too.

Reggie is a joke. He says he plays video games and he spews a lot of crap about them and just in general he spews crap. His display in Smash during the NWC was worse than a 5 year old. He does in his b0110x play video games.

"We hear you and we are committed to continuing to meet your expectations." You need to start before you can continue. I don't get where he got the negative reaction to Splatoon either. But like Serebii says, he's on drugs.

Reggie: Iwata didn’t apologize for the Nintendo Digital Event “It was not an apology. It was not a statement about the content we’re showing, essentially it was an ‘I hear you’ message.” “Mr. Iwata is in Japan and what he’s trying to do is help explain to consumers in Japan what’s going on at E3. The correct translation of his message was: ‘Thank you for your feedback. We hear you and we are committed to continuing to meet your expectations,’ was essentially his message.” “One of the things I find interesting is that if you look at E3 historically for Nintendo, typically what happens is a press briefing happens or our digital event happens, and then over the course of the next couple of days people see the games get to play the games and the appreciation and understanding of what we’re doing increases over those three days and continues to build into the holidays." “Splatoon is a game that people are loving right now, but if you rewind to E3 last year, Splatoon was being viewed as, ‘Yes, it’s innovative and it’s different, but the controls are a little hard and I don’t understand the mechanic of turning into a squid and going through the ink.’ There were all of these complaints. But now you look at the finished product and the satisfaction is huge.” “For us, our goal is to make sure we announce the content, help people understand the content, but most importantly get hands on with the games.” “I haven’t heard the feedback (for this year’s Best Buy demonstrations), but I think the feedback is going to be quite positive because what we do is make great games and they show well and they really lead to consumer excitement.” Why do I hate you so Reggie? And it should have been an apology.

I suggest you look at that list again. http://n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1761603&postcount=1097 6 of the top 10 are indie games. Steam World Heist is the lowest placed indie game on the list. It's the only stand out game faring badly of all the indie games. And that probably stems from putting Steam World in the title when it's nothing like the first game. Similar to the hate for Metroid Prime: Federation Force.

Sad I know but the muppet stuff was probably my favourite bit of the Direct. It made me laugh, even now.

Maybe they're pressed for time to incorporate the feature for launch. I wouldn't be surprised to see it patched in at a later date. I'm sure if the same was asked of Smash Bros. way back when they'd have had an excuse handy as well. Super Mario Maker - Just Keep Running & Cap'n Big Dry Bones Gameplay (Direct Feed - E3 2015)

I think the Gamecube was my favourite console, then the SNES. The Wii U hasn't been terrible but it could have been so much better. The gamepad was wasted. I remember Reggie and Iwata saying before it launched that they'd learned their lessons from the 3DS, that their would be plenty of 3rd party support and that online would be the air that we breathe. The PS4 and XBOX1 are likely to last 6-7 years. The Wii U cost €50 less and will last 4 years. Remember what the Wii was like at the end, expect the same for Wii U with sparse releases. The PS3 and XBOX360 had support right up til the end and beyond into this generation. Also a lot of the Wii U games have felt by the numbers and I'd nearly put the suffix Lite at the end of some of them they've been that short.

But you'll be made pay a bit extra for the upgrade. :p

3rd party support on the Gamecube kicked the living daylights out of the Wii U by comparison. I think the Gamecube had a better library overall. Though you're not comparing like with like there. Nicer graphics now, online, fresher in the memory, VC.
